When a restaurant contacts me, & is super confident in their food…I’ll pull up!! That’s what these folks did, & guess what? I’m glad they did!! So we got some Indian cuisine that runs a buffet on the weekends. Let’s GO!! *Oh my son says I’m too loud, so I got quiet in here *

Items Reviewed:
STAMP!! Their Drinks ($3.50 for their virgin Shirley Temple, & $3.95 for their Sweet Lassi yogurt drink). The Temple…hit!! Fruity with bubbles!! The sweet Lassi was actually a tad sour…DECENT.
STAMP!! Their Palak Chat ($7.95 with crunchy baby spinach, tomato, & onions in a yogurt, & tamarind sauce). I couldn’t believe I liked this!! I want my spinach crunchy like this ALL the time…flavorful, & tasty!!
STAMP!! Their Tandoori Shrimp ($22.95 with 7 large Tandoori sliced shrimp, onions, herbs, tamarind, & green chutney sauce). Sizzling hot, well spiced, no need to dip, but if you do…both sauces HIT!!
LIKE THAT!! Their Samosas ($6.95 fried pastries with curry spiced potatoes, & green peas). Packed with potatoes, & peas, & definitely full of flavor!!
STAMP!! Their Paneer Pakora ($7.95 breaded, & fried dense Indian cottage cheese). A crisp nicely flavored batter, an almost snapping warm cheese, dipped in that tamarind is a whole YES!!
STAMP!! Their Chili Chicken ($16.95 with diced chicken thighs in a firey sauce with green chili, onions, peppers, garlic, & soy sauce).
DELICIOUS. Their Garlic Naan ($4 garlicky Indian flatbread). I had to compare this to Naan I’ve had before…I needed more seasoning on this bread.
STAMP!! Their Chicken Tikka Masala ($19.95 with chicken breast simmered in a curry tomato based sauce). I could drink this!! It was that good…GET IT…that’s it!!

Came here with my friends for Valentine’s Day and they had a lunch buffet with a great variety of options. My friend is vegetarian and there were a lot of options for him as well. The dessert was amazing and the staff was attentive and friendly. This Indian restaurant is a great choice in the Woodley Park area.

This place is clearly better than 4.1 stars – new management has done an awesome job. Buffet lunch is an incredible value, food is fresh and flavorful. The butter naan comes out hot and airy – I ate it so fast I forgot to get a picture. Service is attentive and appreciative for your business. Disappointing that I’m traveling and can’t go here more often.

I had an excellent bottomless brunch with friends, enjoying the delicious buffet. There was great variety of food to try. I especially loved the paneer dishes. They kept bringing out warm baskets of delicious naan to my friends and me — a dream come true! The service is great and the $17.99 all you can eat deal is too good to miss out on.

I had dinner at Raja Ji Curry House last night and it was absolutely outstanding. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. The food is incredibly authentic — rich flavors, perfectly balanced spices, and cooked with obvious care. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the portions were very generous.
This restaurant truly feels like a hidden gem. The lentil soup was comforting and full of flavor, the chicken curry was tender and aromatic, and the garlic naan was warm and fresh from the oven. It’s clear they put pride into every dish.
If you’re looking for excellent Indian food, look no further — this place is a must-visit. Whether you’re already a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Raja Ji Curry House delivers on every level. I can’t recommend it enough!

While exploring DC and craving Indian food, we ended up at Rajaji—and it was honestly the perfect choice. We ordered Dal Makhani, Murg Chicken (which came with rice), Raita, Naan, and Roti. Every single dish was flavorful, fresh, and cooked to perfection.
What made the experience even better was the amazing service. A kind gentleman from Nepal took care of us with genuine hospitality and a warm smile. He even took the time to chat with us, making the whole experience feel more like a family dinner than just a restaurant visit.
The vibe was calm and welcoming, the place was spotless, and the food came out super quick. As tourists, this visit really stood out. It’s rare to find a spot that nails both the food and the service—10/10, highly recommend if you’re in DC and craving authentic Indian flavors!

Absolutely amazing lunch buffett! A wide variety of options for any diet (meat, seafood, vegetarian). Everything was seasoned well and fresh. Especially loved the chili garlic shrimp, lamb curry, and malai kulfi (house made ice cream).
An amazing deal; all you can eat for $18/person. Highly recommend.
Also, stellar service. Very fast on the refills, courteous, and genuinely welcoming. Lovely atmosphere. It’s a hidden gem of Woodley Park.

Longstanding reliable neighborhood restaurant with consistently tasty Indian food, generous portions, and friendly staff. They recently changed management and upgraded the menu, adding some Himalayan (Nepali?) specialties, which one doesn’t find as often. Convenient to the metro; worth a stop if you are in the neighborhood. Great place for takeout if you live nearby.
They also now have a lunch buffet from 11 to 3 on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, which I am eager to try.
In my opinion, the food here is generally more flavorful and more subtly spiced than what you will find at its local competitor.
(4 stars because I am a strict grader and only round numbers are available to reviewers, but agree with another reviewer that it probably deserves at least a 4.3.)

We were welcomed by a very nice gentleman, only to start our 6 star experience! The boneless Lamb Vindaloo was spicy but did not compete with the flavor! Chana Marsala was spot on! Almost forgot to take photos it was so good! The Garlic Naan is delicious as is the Aloo paratha!

My first time here .The chicken biryani was rich, flavorful, and had perfectly tender chicken with aromatic rice. The salmon was fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked just right—crispy outside, juicy inside. Both dishes were delicious and worth trying!
